Got dominated inside that half. Going to be lucky if we get out of here with a win. Doesn’t look good.

Now let’s have the discipline to run our O and move the ball all game moving forward and keep getting better as a team. Special night and special performance, don’t let it turn us in to Trae Young OU team where everyone just starts watching and stops playing.But Trae Young’s last college season (and that Curry kid too) were amazing. LU would relish that type of exposure!

Completely different scenario with McGhee - he is a senior and a leader, but hopefully the scoring evens out some the rest of the way, or the only thing we will be talking about the 22 season is McGhee and not a 4th Straight Tourney Appearance. Delicate balance and I get we needed it with Preston out tonight.Purple Haize wrote: ↑January 15th, 2022, 10:58 pmBut Trae Young’s last college season [was] amazing.Except when he played Jevon.
I hated Trae. Still do. Terrorized Big XII, terrorized my Sixers.

What a performance.IMHO, Peter Aluma is still the GOAT. However, DM is a very close second and clearly the best guard we have ever had. He is very exciting to watch.
Kricket wrote: ↑January 16th, 2022, 11:37 am First off, one of the most amazing performances I've seen from McGhee. No way we win that game without McGhee's performance.Abii had a truly awful night. As far as Shiloh or any of our other current inside players getting increased minutes next year, I would say it's unlikely. We have Noone leaving, 2 signees coming in, and Spell coming off redshirt.
Venzant will be much less heralded, but if FGCU had Venzant, McGhee maybe scores 20 and not 48.
Offensively it's hard to tell what we got with some of the younger players since they don't shoot much. Some of that is they don't have confidence and some of it is deferring to McGhee. I also think McGhee is serviceable on D but not really amazing due to his height.
Next year it will take time to establish an identity on offense but I think we will be fine. I'm a little down on Abii. He seems to play out of control offensively. I'm not sure he'll ever come around fully. Venzant and Peebles I think will both be really good offensively by the end of their careers. Shiloh probably could score even more with more chances, but I don't really think we find out until next year.
flameshaw wrote: ↑January 16th, 2022, 12:05 pm Our BIG drawback is lack of consistency from our BIGS. None of them are real scoring threats and are small on defense.A couple of observations. After a slow start, Shiloh has been our second best scorer averaging over 13ppg over the past 8 games. As far as adding size next year, we have 6'7" Ben Southerland and 6'8" Zack Cleveland signed to NLIs, and 6'9" Bryson Spell coming off redshirt. No scholarships available for an incoming transfer as things stand now, but of course that could change.
We will just have to see what happens as we continue in the conference. We definitely have some weaknesses. We also need to find a BIG in the portal for next year if possible.

Not the time to "experiment", and why would you think he would be better playing more minutes?
